Well im using a bought server from mark mods and don't use TADST i am familiar with it from my old arma 2 days but im using a bought one i already have the alive.cfg in the corret folder and am running the @aliveserver addon on the server still nothing

how long does it take to save the mission usually ?

Well ive reported this to my service provider I doubt ill get a reply but lets say step 1 & 2 is not the issue what else could be ???

Alright i will do thanks for the info spyder and Tupolov

I think the possible main issue is the server not having
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile & Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable anyone know how to install these ?

Yes i understand how to download and launch an exe but the set up page says that it needs to be installed on the dedicated server and not my computer any ideas ??? thanks for the comment :D

Im also noticing now how do i install those requirements for the server

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
&
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable

I do that but once in game i lets say move a vehicle save and exit and nothing happens it says saving please wait i wait reload the mission and nothing it puts me back at the respawn and shows no sign of saving a players positions or vehicles positions

in the mean time ill have a look at this video thanks Spyder :D

Can someone make a video setup on how to make a persistent server please and include in game footage any text documents ive followed just don't work at all

Fixed the issue by redoing the mission with aid from a template and it worked ok i guess human error caused it but i don't know where the error i caused was hidden but if in doubt use a template from the alive team.

One more thing is there a template mission about for alive 0.9.9 because i think the way modules are set up have changed haven't they and maybe that could be the problem.
